By FRANK KOESTER, [Author of “Modern City Planning and Maintenance.”] Cities and towns throughout the United States are drifting very rapidly toward the regulation of modern city Dlanning, and one of the foremost prin- ciples of city planning is the provision of adequate housing facilities for the working classes. The principal object is to obtain more sanitary conditions, while probably lit- tle attention has as yet been directed teward the selection of more suitable location for the workingmen’s houses and the conmstructive features of such buildings, a subject which has been developed abroad for many years, usu- ally under the direction of the munici- palities, whose aim also is to secure low renting facilities. Many German cities have undertaken the construction of such houses. How- ever, such problems are not only un- dertaken by municipalities, but large Vaarp ~ 9wy, | >4 " Keep a roof of prosperity over your head and help your neighbor to do Likewise by trading with him in business. | You Help Him, and " He Will Help You HOME TRADE MEANS HOME SAVINGS.

The workingmen's colonies, the pro- totypes of the garden cities,.had their origin- in the workingmen's quarters established by the Krupp company at Essen, beginning in 1855 with barracks affording lodging and board for 200 men to start with, and followed in 1863 by a colony of 160 dwellings at Alt ‘West End, the first actual colony con- tinuing with various additions to the present time until, with other added colonies, the Krupp works house 12,- 800 men and their families, a total of 46,000 people. The colony Cronenberg, the largest and best known, was mainly erected in the years 1872 to 1874. The buildings are partly sot rows of three storied houses, coniail. ing’ thirty to forty dwellings in each block, and partly form isolated three story semidetached houses with twelve dwellings, six of them raccessi- ble from each gable front. The build- ings are constructed in brick or quarry stone without ornaments and are sur- rounded by gardens and lawhns. Throughout each staircase gives ac- cess to six dwellings, two to each floor, from a small landing through a private | front door. ‘The streets are lined with trees, and in the midst of the colony is a spacious park, which in connection with the gardens surrounding the houses gives to the whole a pleasant aspect. Subsequent to 1891 204 additional (| dwellings. were erected; so that the en- | tire colony contains 1,454 workmen’s dwellings of two or three rooms and some up to six rooms. | Within recent years much attention is being paid to garden cities, as the almost invariable desire of the city dweller is to have a place in the coun- | try where he may at least spend the || summer months. The unrelieved mo- || notony of city life. with cramped quar- ters, absence of healthful recreation and sultry temperatures on the one hand and the love of nature and the \"desire of owning a home on the other, draw people to the country. Only the lack of transit facilities and the time || that must be lost from business pre- vents a vastly greater proportion of the population from having their coun- try homes and their plots of ground. i Imanufacturing concerns provide hous- o i BUY A RIB For That Machine 90 cents.

The American Civic association has | heartily seconded’ the proposal of the Lincoln (Neb.) Commercial club to abolish the annual cleanup week and keep things spick and span throughout the year. The association holds that cleanup week ought to be as obsolete as the “annual wash day,” or, as Lin- coln puts it. “the idea of washing your face, so to speak, but once a year is resented by public spirited citizens.” PIONEER OFFIGE Phone 31 Read the Pioneer want ads.
